I have never had W&D, but I have always thought lower B is under served as far as coffee goes. Betola was a good addition, but not right on B. Sigmunds has good coffee, but it seems their hours change, so its tough to count on them. These guys have had some success, hopefully it is deserved. That looks like a nice storefront there.

I don't know about these waffle people (and a Dutch friend thinks that they're funny because they're Belgian, and he says they're probably bad drivers, too, because they're Belgian), but I do know that Turtle Pace is a good pace.

This is trendy food for the newbies, but I support it, because it is non-chain affordable fare, probably made with decent ingredients rather than chemically preserved non-food, owned by a resident and birthed from a successful mom and pop. i dont go to the big gay ice cream store either, but i enthusiastically support those guys as a goods addition to the hood.good luck belgians.

Yes, Barbara. It can get kind of schitzo around here. People tying to open up small, local businesses can be characterized as a return to what made immigrant city neighborhoods great, and as elitist foreign invaders, all in the same breath.

Yes they didn't invent the Belgian waffle- So it can't possibly be a trendy restaurant because waffles already exist?It definitely seems to be marketed to hipster types, but it looks delicious and the prices look good so I wish them well and may have to pop in for some snacks.

Wafels & Dinges is a nice idea for a street truck but nothing beats the taste of a freshly home-made waffle. also better is home-made whipped cream.waffles are easy to make.but it's not an artisinal free range bar so good luck to them.
